Toilet-paper holder



June 2, 1931. F. w. KOMPA TOILET PAPER HOLDER Filed June 14, 1930 yank Patented June 2 1931 UNITED STATES FRED W. KOMPA, OF ASTORIA, YORK I TOILET-PAPER nornnsa Application filed .Tune 14, 1930. Serial No. {161,138.

This invention relates to improvements in the supporting devices for toilet paper rolls, and it is the principal object of my invention to provide a support of simple and inexpensive construction, yet durable and highly eflicient in its operation.

Another object of my invention is the provision of a holder for toilet paper rolls equipped with means for firmly engaging the holder with a support while allowing a free rotation of the roll of paper.

A further object of my invention is the provision of a support for the rolls of toilet paper including a sleeve formed from a blank and adapted to receive a rod supporting the paper roll while its conical head is firmly engaging a recess in a support which has also a recess in its directly oppositely located wall for the reception of the rounded end of the rod while a spring anchored in rod and sleeve normally presses the ends of said rod and sleeve in its respective recess.

A still further object of my invention is the provision of a device of this class the sleeve of which has an opening for the insertion of a pin or other suitable tool effecting the compression of the spring for disengaging the sleeve from its recess to allow a fresh supply of paper to be brought on said rod.

These and other objects and advantages of my invention will become more fully known as the description thereof proceeds and will then be specifically defined in the appended claims.

I11 the accompanying drawings, forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. l is a front elevation of a toilet paper holder constructed according to my invention.

Fig. 2 is a cross-section on line 22 of Figure 1.

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal section on line 33 of Figure 1.

Fig. 4 is a perspective View of a blank. As shown on the drawings, a chamber 10 formed in a tiled wall 11 of a bath-room has formed in its side walls recesses 12 and 13 at directly opposite points.

has one of its ends secured to rod 14 while its other end is anchored in sleeve 17, as at 21.

The sleeve 17 has formed therewith an opening 22 for the insertion of a pin or other suitable tool effecting a displacement of the sleeve towards the left to compress spring 20 and to allow the introduction of a new roll of toilet paper.

The operation of my device will be entire-' ly clear from the above description and siinultaneous inspection of the drawings, a pin inserted in hole 22 will allow a displacement of sleeve 17 on rod 14 towards the left under compression of spring 20 so that a new roll of toilet paper can be placed on rod 14 while the expansion of the spring will press the end of rod 14 firmly into recess 12 and the conical end of sleeve 17 into recess 19 holding the roll of paper securely in place, while the rounded and conical ends of rod and sleeve will allow a ready rotation of the roll.

It will be understood that I have shown and described the preferred form of my device only, and that I may make such changes therein as come within the scope of the 'appended claims without departure from the spirit of my invention.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A holder for toilet paper rollers comprising in combination with a chamber formed in a bath-room wall and having recesses at directly opposite points of its side walls, a rod engaging with one end one of said recesses, a sleeve formed from .a blank, adapted to receive the other end of said rod, a conical end formed with said sleeve adapted to engage the other of said recesses, a

spring Wound about said rod adapted to firmly press the ends of said rod and sleeve in their respective recess allowing a rotating of the paper roll about the same.

2. In a holder for toilet paper rolls, a rod, adapted to engage with one end a recess in a support, a sleeve adapted to receive the other end of said rod, a conical head on said sleeve adapted to engage a recess in the opposite Wall of said support, a spring Wound about said rod having one end secured to the same, and its other end anchored in said sleeve for normally pressing the ends of said rod and sleeve into firm engagement with the support, said sleeve having a hole for the insertion of a tool allowing a displacement of said sleeve against said rod and a compression of said spring for permitting the placing of a roll of paper on said rod adapted to freely turn about the same.

In Witness whereof I have signed my name to this specification.

FRED WY. KOMPA.
